My knittted dresses

Today Constança de Saidos da Concha showed on her blog photos of the clothes she wore when she was a young child. She invited other bloggers to do the same.

So here are the clothes, knitted by my mother, that I wore:

When I was a baby, I already wore a knitted dress.(1947)

With my younger brother.

Again, all our clothes were knitted.

Even as a schoolgirl, I had a knitted dress.
